Default RE: Warbird Trainer

your original question was "best warbird trainer" I agree with Hanger 9 but ...... you need to remember you said warbird trainer . The Hanger 9 original release warbirds -Corsair , P47 , P51 ect have one thing in common light wing loading !!!! so while they give you all the feel and traing in
1)tail dragger
2)rudder training on the ground
3)low wing flight characteristics

They wont give you the high level of awarness need to fly a typical "heavy medal " term sometimes used for a warbird with heavier wing loading !!!
I dont personally like anything heavy , dont care to build that way regardless of the details , but many warbirds come out that way from poor planning or short nose designs that simple end up needing a ton of weigh to balance . As a result , you need to know that slow landings may mean tip stall , snaps and spins ect .
Heavier warbirds need speed on landings and some of other best advice is listed from paldin or his real name "Joe" .
tameing the Top Flight P40 is a great example if handeling a difficult warbird
